Maharashtra:A state minister on Friday asked his supporters to break traffic laws in order to gather a crowd for PM Narendra Modi's election rally in the Bhandara district.

"If the police stop you, give them my name, tell them that you are my man and also say the vehicle belongs to me... If they still catch you for riding triple-seat or even five-seat, I will get you out... You rest assured," Phuke said.
